Английская Википедия:Bloomed
Шаблон:Infobox album Bloomed is the debut album by the American musician Richard Buckner.[1][2] It was released in 1994 via the German label Glitterhouse, and the following year in the United States via Dejadisc.[3][4] A 1999 reissue appended five bonus tracks.[5]
Production
Produced by Lloyd Maines, the album was recorded in Lubbock, Texas, with additional studio work taking place in Austin.[6][7] Butch Hancock played harmonica on the album; Ponty Bone played accordion.[8] Buckner decided to make the album without using a rhythm section.[9]
Buckner has originally intended for Bloomed to be a concept album about his lineage and family.[3]
Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings The Washington Post wrote that "Buckner's compelling, dust-streaked voice and his knack for visual detail and unexpected metaphor make him a natural disciple of the Lubbock church, but he's still a novice when it comes to the rites of irreverent humor."[10] The Nashville Scene thought that "Buckner’s ghostly, sensual voice is the perfect vehicle for his bittersweet songs of parting and regret—he often sounds like Dwight Yoakam, only less self-conscious and more literate."[11] The Orlando Sentinel praised Buckner's "genuinely lovely, earthy baritone."[12]
The Chicago Tribune determined that Bloomed "starts off strong with several melodically driving tunes and cutting lyrical introspection, but after that engaging intro the proceedings start to drag."[13] The Austin American-Statesman considered it "a sorrowful, almost frighteningly emotional album loaded with regrets."[14]
AllMusic thought that "Maines and his small crew of musicians ... give Buckner's songs all the care they deserve, adding to the nuances of the melodies and moods with a master's touch, and Maines' own steel guitar work is especially striking."[15] In a 1997 concert review, The New York Times noted the "dark, poetic lining to his sparse songs, an edge that made his album Bloomed one of 1995's most compelling debuts."[16] Reviewing a 1999 reissue, Pitchfork wrote that "when Buckner veers closer to traditional folk, he invests his songs with an almost apocalyptic urgency."[17] Spin listed it as the 19th best album of 1995.[18]
